If the King of England is of dragon origin and the son of Queen Yuan, then the Crown Prince is not so legitimate. No one dares to think too deeply about what the Crown Prince does. The most important aspect is that because he is the Crown Prince, he is the most suitable candidate for the new Emperor. The Emperor is in poor health and no one knows when the Crown Prince will become Emperor. Even if he is not a powerful Crown Prince, he will at least be a healthy and gentle Crown Prince.
But what if it’s none of those things
"When Queen Yuan was murdered, I investigated the matter and later found out about the old Prince of Yun. He also admitted the incident and left behind Queen Yuan's blood letter. Queen Yuan did not want him to enter the palace again. I feel guilty towards Queen Yuan, so I am supporting the Prince of Ying like this. I only hope that he can live a peaceful and happy life and not be involved in the royal family's struggles again."
The emperor is now just an old father, and when he talks about his beloved son, his expression is much more at ease than before.
"He used to act recklessly, and I know that, but now he is no longer so, and everything he does is very methodical, and he is able to control the overall situation. The Crown Prince is probably doing many evil things, murdering important officials in the court, causing the Crown Princess' death, and colluding with the Northern Frontier."
Every charge that was spoken shocked the people present.
The one who plotted to murder important officials in the court, are you referring to Ling Anbo
The reason for the Crown Princess’ death was related to him, and what Ji Youran did was also his idea
Is he colluding with Northern Frontier, the Second Prince of Northern Frontier who has the royal blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has been plotting evil in secret
Every incident was horrifying.
If the prince really has so many crimes, he must not be allowed to stay.
The emperor's eyes were full of disappointment in the prince. The ministers didn't know what to say next, so they all lowered their heads and spoke in low voices.
This day is going to change
The incident started with the death of the censor's daughter, but no one could guess what the outcome would be. There was only one thing that everyone present could sense: the crown prince was likely to be deposed.
When the summons from the Eastern Palace came down, Pei Luoan was still in the mansion and wanted to go to the palace to inform the Queen.
He couldn't go out the front door, nor could he go to the side door to see the queen, so he had to stay in the mansion.
Just when he was getting anxious and at a loss, the emperor's order came down to investigate the Eastern Palace.
"My father's order is to investigate my Eastern Palace and all places?" Pei Luoan stood up suddenly and asked the Minister of Justice, Lord Yu.
"The daughter of the censor was replaced and died. The emperor means that the Eastern Palace must investigate this matter thoroughly." Lord Yu said with a serious face.
"Sir Yu, something like this just happened in the palace. Is it really so important whether a mere daughter of an imperial censor is dead or not?" Pei Luoan was furious.
"Imperial Censor Qu cried in the palace and wanted to commit suicide by hitting a pillar. It was us who rescued him. This matter cannot be delayed." Lord Yu looked at Pei Luoan calmly.
"Died by hitting a pillar? What a great death by hitting a pillar? She was just a woman who didn't cultivate her virtues. She died, so what? Do I have to be buried with her?" Pei Luoan was so angry that he laughed instead. He put his hands on the desk and stared at the Minister of Justice. "Is Lord Yu dissatisfied with me in some way? That's why he brought people to raid my East Palace?"
"Your Highness, this is the emperor's order." Lord Yu's face was extremely calm.
After hearing such facts, why can't I remain calm
"This is my East Palace. I will naturally check myself. I will go to the palace to see my father now." Pei Luoan flicked his sleeves and strode out.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is in poor health and cannot see you." Lord Yu bowed respectfully.
"What do you mean?" Pei Luoan stopped and glared at the Minister of Justice fiercely. At this moment, he was no longer his usual gentle and elegant self, but like a trapped beast.
"Your Highness cannot leave the East Palace at this time." Lord Yu said more bluntly, "I suspect there are spies from the Northern Frontier in your mansion."
"Spy?" Pei Luoan pointed at the Minister of Justice, "How dare you say there is a spy in my house?"
"One of the counselors of the King of Qin at that time was a monk. He stayed in the Great Zhou and has been secretly contacting the old subordinates of the Three Kings Rebellion. This monk was found in the hot spring villa outside the city of Your Highness. I heard that this monk went to the East Palace several times that day. Now he has been taken away by the West Prison."
Lord Yu was as calm as ever, with a cold look in his eyes as he looked at the prince in front of him. He once thought that the prince was kind. Although he had no ability and was governed by others everywhere, at least his kindness was unmatched by the others.
But everything he found out now made him feel shocked.
Before investigating the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, the Western Prison first investigated the Hot Spring Villa, where they discovered the monk who was actually an aide to the King of Qin, and also discovered a secret room in the villa.
Many things became clear because of this monk.
What happened on the day of the prince's wedding was horrifying. The prince pretended to be assassinated and put the blame on the princess. He used this to threaten Ling Anbo to hand over the letter he had found before about the prince and Liu Xiangshan's staff. Ling Anbo was unable to hand it over and was later killed by the prince.
In order to plan this matter, the prince prepared his own men early on, and entered the Ling Anbo Mansion in the name of a juggling troupe, and colluded with the second branch of the Ling Anbo Mansion to plot against Ling Anbo.
It's a pity that such a great general died on the day of his daughter's wedding.
In the East Palace, the Crown Princess jumped from Linyuan Pavilion and died in the lake below Linyuan Pavilion
The testimony of the monk obtained by the Western Prison, and the testimony of Mr. Xiao, an aide to Liu Xiangshan who was caught while escaping at the Northern Frontier Envoy.
The testimonies of these two people explained all the persecutions that the Crown Prince had inflicted on the Ling Anbo Mansion, the deaths of Ling Anbo and the Crown Princess, and how he had colluded with the second branch of the Ling Anbo Mansion to deliberately delay the deaths of the Crown Princess and Ling Anbo, for fear of attracting the Emperor's attention.
Several ministers who were investigating the case together were almost in tears.
Every word and sentence above is an accusation of the prince's blood and tears.
The prince who appeared to be kind in front of others was not only cruel and ruthless, but also incompetent. He was led by the nose and actually started a bloody incident during his wedding, destroying the entire Ling Anbo Mansion and the Crown Princess.
What they said was a deep love, but now it seems that the Crown Princess and Ling Anbo were just blind. They actually thought he was a good person and arranged such a marriage with him.
In the past, people only said that the King of England was cruel and ruthless, but most of the rumors about the King of England's cruelty came from the battlefield, and then from some hostile enemies. There was no need to be merciful to the enemy.
If the King of England is considered cruel and ruthless, then the Prince is like a mad dog. At the slightest sign of trouble, he bites like a mad dog to hide his panic.
At this time, anyone could be bitten by him, even anyone who gets close to him.
Lord Yu secretly thanked himself for being loyal to the Emperor and having no intention of leaning towards the Crown Prince. Also, in his eyes, the Crown Prince had always been kind.
After the bloody facts were revealed, no one stood on the side of the prince anymore. Now he is still under the suppression of the emperor, but he dared to do such a thing. If he were to take control of the country one day, how many of the civil and military officials in the court would be able to stay
With his kind of mentality, I'm afraid all the court officials will have to be replaced by a group and the entire court will be massacred.
reason
Can you reason with a mad dog
Think about the former Crown Princess whom he always talked about and loved deeply, right? The whole family died, leaving only a little sister who escaped.
The facts are chilling
"What did you say?" Pei Luoan's face turned pale.
"What I said is the truth. Your Highness, please be patient. After investigating the Eastern Palace, the Emperor will make his own conclusion." Lord Yu said.
Pei Luoan clenched his hands, feeling the trembling in his heart, he was afraid.
"Why do you want to do this? Why would my father do this? I am his crown prince. He is the one he has chosen for so many years."
"I, the minister, don't know." Lord Yu said slowly.
"Master Yu, is there someone who wants to harm me? Who is it who wants to harm me?" Pei Luoan grabbed Master Yu's hand and shook it anxiously.
"Your Highness, I don't know. I only know to follow the emperor's orders." Lord Yu took a deep breath and slid his hand out of Pei Luoan's hand.
After saying this, he bowed deeply to Pei Luoan, turned around and strode out of the study. He still had to preside over the investigation of the Eastern Palace this time.
Watching Master Yu leave, Pei Luoan staggered two steps, slowly sat down on a chair beside him, holding his head with both hands, his face pale and painful.
The situation is over, and now the situation is over!
He could never have imagined that in order to keep Ji Youran so that he could have easier contact with Mr. Xiao who was beside Liu Xiangshan, he pushed Qu Xuexin out, but it would cause such a big disaster.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have kept Ji Youran. It was just a casual move in the first place. He thought she might be needed someday, so he deliberately saved her life.
He killed Ling Anbo and Ji Hanyue. After the emperor investigates the matter, he will definitely not tolerate him. He is finished.
How did he get to this point
He is the crown prince, and has been the crown prince for a long time, but his father has never valued him. His father valued Pei Yuanjun and Pei Yusheng, but he did not value himself, the crown prince.
He treats himself, the crown prince, even worse than Pei Qingmin, this sickly boy!
He is the crown prince of a country and a national treasure. Why did he end up like this
Pei Luoan's mind was in a mess. When did it start? He learned from Ji Youran that she and the staff around Liu Xiangshan were actually related.
It is said that Ji Youran's biological mother, Xiao, was quite kind to this cousin. When Mr. Xiao's family was in poor financial condition, Xiao repeatedly helped him, so he was very grateful to Xiao.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he secretly contacted Mr. Xiao, who was in Beijing at the time, hoping to persuade Liu Xiangshan to stand on his side through Mr. Xiao.
As long as Liu Xiangshan stands on his side, no matter how capable Pei Yusheng is, it will be useless. As for Pei Yuanjun, there is nothing to be afraid of.
But how did things turn out like this? Not only did he fail to gain Liu Xiangshan's approval, but he also killed his father-in-law. When Ji Hanyue died in the East Palace, he was still in Ling Anbo's mansion.
Everything, where did it all originate from? Now he found it clearer than before. The hands that were holding his head fell down and slowly covered his chest.
